Patient Overview
Patient Name: Rahim Ahmed
Age: 45
Problem: Chronic nasal congestion and sinus infections
Background:
Rahim Ahmed, a 45-year-old man, presented with persistent nasal congestion, frequent sinus infections, and a reduced sense of smell for over a year. After a thorough evaluation, he was diagnosed with nasal polyps obstructing the nasal passages.
Challenges:
The patient had a history of asthma and allergies, which made the procedure more challenging due to possible allergic reactions. The polyps were large, blocking both the nasal airways and sinus drainage.
Treatment Plan:
Dr. Mohammad Hanif recommended endoscopic sinus surgery to remove the polyps and restore proper sinus function. The surgery would be minimally invasive, allowing for faster recovery.
Outcome:
After the surgery, Rahim’s breathing improved significantly, and he regained his sense of smell. Post-surgery, he experienced fewer sinus infections and was discharged the following day. His recovery was smooth, and he returned to his normal activities within two weeks.
